That was a purposeful misquote of a very time honoured punch line.
It went something like "10 million dollars here and 10 million dollars
there and after a while it starts to mount up to serious money"

My point, of sorts, was that even 2 GB bandwidth use on sending out
one photo, which could have been 30 times smaller and still effective
enough, is quite a lot of waste bandwidth in its own right. And it
would make a significant difference if all the 30 kB files were
instead 1 to 2 MB.
